Their client Livia Tossici-Bolt was convicted of breaching a buffer-zone in Bournemouth last April. Adam Smith-Connor, whose case was highlighted by Vance, was similarly convicted in October 2024. Tossici-Bolt was given a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £20,000, while Smith-Connor was handed a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay more than £9,000 in costs.
